Why Katy Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Katy is a fast-growing city (population 403,281) in Texas with a construction market shaped by a 2.50% annual growth rate and steady residential expansion. Located in USDA hardiness zone 8a, the area averages sunny days: 228/year and an annual rainfall: 34.00 inches, creating a climate that supports frequent outdoor projects and new development. That combination of growth and weather drives demand for bulk materials to level yards, build pads for sheds and patios, and fix low spots after heavy rains. Homeowners and contractors alike seek dependable aggregates because proper grading and fill reduce long-term settling, limit standing water, and set a stable base for landscaping, paving, and foundations.Popular Projects in Katy This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Katy Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Katy.
Delivered fill dirt in the Katy area typically falls in the range of about $10 to $30 per ton (roughly $11 to $33 per cubic yard, using ~1.1 tons per cubic yard). Final price depends on supplier, distance, site access, moisture content, and whether spreading is requested. Hello Gravel lists clear delivered pricing at checkout, a minimum order of 3 tons, and next-day delivery options for orders placed before noon CST (fees may apply).
Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet * depth in inches) / 324. Convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.0–1.25 tons per cubic yard (we commonly use 1.1 tons/yd3 for dirt). Add 10–20% extra to account for compaction and settlement—use 20% for heavy clay soils common around Katy.
For Katy's clay-prone soils, a stable, well-graded fill with some cohesion helps reduce washing and rutting; however, pure clay can hold water and cause drainage problems. For areas requiring drainage, mix or layer fill dirt with sand or a coarse aggregate, or use engineered fill specified by a soils engineer. For driveways and pads, consider a compacted granular base (class 2 or crushed limestone) over compacted fill to improve drainage and support.
Fill dirt is fine for raising subgrade and grading but is not a good wearing surface for driveways in Katy's weather. For driveways, crushed limestone or class 2 road base is recommended as the structural wearing layer because it compacts well and sheds water. A common approach is to bring the yard to grade with compacted fill dirt, then install several inches of class 2 or crushed stone on top for the driveway surface.
Possibly. Katy spans Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties and local rules vary—floodplain, compaction, and grading permits are common in subdivision and municipal jurisdictions. For structures or large regrades, local building departments may require engineered fill specs and compaction testing from a geotechnical engineer. Always check with your city or county permitting office and your HOA before starting work.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers serving Katy. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, standard delivery takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump trucks, and tailgate spreading can be requested but is performed at the driver’s discretion.
Mark the preferred drop location and ensure trucks can access the site; clear vegetation and remove obstacles on the intended driveway or drop area. Call 811 to locate underground utilities, confirm local setbacks or easement restrictions, and communicate any access constraints in your order notes. If you need spreading, request it at checkout but expect the driver to decide on safety and feasibility upon arrival.
Common post-delivery issues include settlement, erosion during heavy summer rains, and uneven distribution if spreading was attempted. To reduce problems, compact fill in lifts, add topsoil and seed or install erosion control, and use proper drainage swales. If there is a delivery or quality issue, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier and resolve it according to our policies.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
